Recommended action: Read the message body: if it says the port is not open, verify the process in the sandbox is running and listening on that port (check logs via commands.run), and the template's start/ready command; only raise timeoutMs/.setTimeout when the sandbox actually expired. Option: Check the listener before raising timeouts [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: Custom templates / exposed ports Steps: 1. sandbox.commands.run('ss -ltnp || netstat -ltnp') 2. Start the server bound to 0.0.0.0 on the expected port and wait for readiness Expected: Port reachable Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
